I know what it's like to be a model and go to castings where some people like what they see and others look at you with distaste.

There's so many interesting aspects of making a movie: the costume department, the set design, the casting itself, the locations.

I don't know what directing actors is all about apart from just casting well and then shaping their performances a bit, you know.

My priority is the script. Get me a good script, and I will sign the movie. I think I should leave the casting up to the experts!

I think the thing that is most influential about 'Haxan' is the casting of the witches as just old women and the strength of that.

I don't think there's an actor in the world who ever expects to get a call from the 'Star Wars' casting director - least of all me.

When you're casting a show, you have your idea of who you want it to be, and of course, those are going to be very well-known names.

I had actually auditioned for a guest star role on 'Legends of Tomorrow,' and the show had the same casting director as 'Riverdale.'

Sometimes casting falls in place easily and sometimes it takes a while. Fifty per cent of my job is done when I get the right actors.

No, I don't think it is required for casting directors to be actors too. My mentor Gautam Kishanchandani cannot act to save his life!

The public saw my father right out of central casting. He looked the part, acted the part... he was the part! The real life Godfather.

When I'm a gender capitalist in the fashion world, I basically can go to any casting that I want to as long as somebody likes my face.

I've paid my dues. It wasn't overnight success. I went to tons of casting calls and auditions... But I've got to give luck some credit.

Casting my fate to the heavens, quite literally, I decided to go wireless. Completely wireless. All wireless, all the time, everywhere.

I try to do more intelligent roles, unusual roles, and stronger women, and that's helped me a little bit with my casting opportunities.

I moved with my mom to Los Angeles for her to pursue her acting career, and she got a job casting atmosphere in some independent films.

My dad was dean of fine arts at the university. I was casting bronzes in the school foundry. I was using the university as a playground.

Superstitions actually played a big role in my life. I wouldn't even go on a casting call if I had a hunch that it was an 'unlucky' day.

I'm being called in by all the great casting directors. It's no longer based on a headshot. I realize now what they're buying is passion.

I think for my casting of 'Pati Patni Aur Woh' the makers saw my ad film which I did for a brand and they decided to cast me in the film.

I always used to say, as a director, that I could make anybody good in a movie if you found the right part. It all comes down to casting.

I was dating someone and wanted to get married to him. But just because casting couch exists in TFI and I work here, he didn't respect me.

You don't have the economy of scale of building a set once and casting once. You blow up the world, basically, at the end of each episode.

I worked at Warner Bros. for a while. I was the head of the minority talent casting. It was like pre-Spike Lee and post-blaxploitation era.

My big break was becoming the spokesperson for Texas Instruments. Casting directors really started giving me a chance to read for projects.

When I write, I imagine scenes. I write things down. I take photographs. I do some casting. I rewrite. It's a permanent making or remaking.

If you believe that God put you here to act, then you have to be different. Go into casting offices, with something other girls don't have.

When 'The Master' came around, they said they wanted to try and find a part for me, and I got a text from the casting director saying that.

I think the location is almost as important as casting the leads of the movie. The location on The Purge was crucial to that movie working.

I could not have been happier with 'The Lincoln Lawyer.' They got the essence, and the casting, starting with McConaughey, was just perfect.

Prayer is helplessness casting itself on Power, infirmity leaning on Strength, misery reaching to Mercy, and a prisoner clamoring for Relief.

Pilots are useful. You just learn things during a pilot - the piece of casting that just wasn't right or things about the storytelling nature.

The first time when you can really get a sense of what the movie is going to look and feel like is when you're in a casting room and seeing it.

You start acting just as soon as you walk into the door of that casting office. You can't just be yourself because they don't want to hire you.

I was in the pilot of ER: I played a 15-year-old pregnant girl they were treating. And then, in the final season, they were casting for interns.

Many casting directors won't hire aspiring actors because you might be burning some chick's headshot under the table so she doesn't get the part.

Every remedy is a desperate remedy. Every cure is a miraculous cure. Curing a madman is not arguing with a philosopher; it is casting out a devil.

Musical chairs or Russian roulette? Sometimes there's as much tense drama in the casting of a Hollywood movie as there is in the finished product.

Be it a cameo, a character role or a lead role, I am happy that people are finally recognising my acting calibre and are casting me in their films.

My mom and dad were actors when they were younger and had a horrible experience of it. My dad became a literary agent and my mom a casting director.

Working on script development, casting, editing, and music is incredibly inspiring to me, and it's wonderful to see something you love come to life.

I didn't want to have people open doors for me. My dad never made a call on my behalf to anyone - not to a producer, a director, or a casting agent.

I have more control of the material if I produce. I can be much more active in choosing the writer, shaping the script, casting and editing the film.

The theoretical casting part of movies is the funnest part. You really can imagine so many different versions of a story based on who's embodying it.

If I am part of a movie, the character I handle should make sense to me at first and should also be convincing to the audiences, in terms of casting.

I always think that a director who knows about the technical side, but cares about the acting performances and casting as well, is ahead of the game.

I randomly went to a casting session in my hometown in North Carolina, and the casting director introduced me to my manager. I really lucked into it!

There was never any down side to casting friends over professionals. It was always fun seeing folks who never performed before stretching their wings.
